Don't Forget Me

Lux thought she knew exactly how this cruise would go: two weeks of awkward family dinners, no cell service, and way too much time to overthink the silence from the boy who stopped choosing her. She planned to keep her head down, her heart guarded, and her nose buried in a book.

Then Colt stole it-and tossed it into the ocean with a smirk that would ruin everything.

He's infuriating. Impossible. Completely unexpected.
And exactly what she needed.

From midnight conversations and stolen tequila to the kind of kisses that leave her breathless, Colt slowly becomes the person Lux didn't know she was waiting for. And maybe it's only supposed to last two weeks-but it's starting to feel like more.

Because some people don't just pass through your life.
Some people sink in. Stay. Change everything.

And maybe, if she's brave enough, this cruise won't be where it ends.
Maybe... it's just where it begins.
